Best Fielders & Catchers

I'd say Ashish Nehra is possibly the worst fielder going around at the moment...he really has no idea.

I rate the sri lankan team in general, in the test against i cant remember them putting one catch down, i know the catches were off murali but in terms of stretching and reacting they were second to none, wish sangakkara would shut up tho, almost as bad as ntini in the field jabbering away........but not quite.

yes.

did anyone witness that amazing catch of andrew flintoff a few years ago by vincent.STUNNING.
There is little doubt that didn't carry.
Flintoff can't complain after receiving two palpable let-offs in his very previous innings, but it wasn't quite a catch.

Possibly, but there are plenty who give him a run for his money.

Zoysa is pretty much as bad.
Harmison is terrible.
Vaughan ain't the best.
Martyn has been dreadful recently.
There are several who are about as bad as the last two - the category not quite as bad as Nehra's group, but not too far behind.

but inzy is the best:lol:

I think that Cairns has the best throwing arm in the world.Andrew Symonds also got one hell of an arm too.

Let me tell you one thing Inzimam is the one of the saffest fielder to have in slips . Check his record .

Streak surely has a better arm than anyone.
Not much difference between the top lot, though, and Streak is no more than reasonable at other fielding disciplines.

we call inzamam AALU which means "potato"
The last time any one called Inzamam Ul Haq 'aaloo' was in a Sahara Cup match where a man was shouting INZY AALLLOOO with a loudspeaker. Inzamam got a Pakistani fielder to brign him a bat from teh dressing room, crossed the boundary rope and was about to hit the man when he was stopped!

So I would be cautious before calling him Aloo any where :lol:

Yes, New Zealand is teh best fielding side at the moment.

And before you say I'm wrong, name another side.
